Chelsea's support was pretty tame throughout, but I'm past the point where I can really criticise it. It would have been equally as tame at Anfield, Eastlands, The Emirates or Old Trafford. The English atmosphere is always dictated by the tempo and nature of the game, lifeless when things are passive and then explosive when tackles fly in and one team starts to press and dominate.

I mean City's support the first 15 minutes aside was pretty non-existant. Then again you're not gonna get many hardcore singers paying £55-60 for a ticket so it was most likely plastered with part time casuals today.

Some people just like to sit and enjoy the game and cba chanting etc unless your team scores or something big happens in the game, now if you're an away fan and you just sit their then it's much worse but i understand alot of the home fans don't plus alot of families etc at games scattered around grounds not sure how many english fans these days have sections just for your male adults and late teens that would create an atmosphere in that section.

Some Chelsea fans. fpalm

You cant have it both ways; sell out, win a load of trophies then have a go. In reality, they should be holding up banners for Roman out as he made the decision to sack RdM but they wont do that will they, they would be a mid table club very quickly if he went.

Busy all weekend and thus have not watched a single second of football :downing

Sounds like we were shite today. Sounds about right anyway.

How did Rafa do in his first game as Chelsea Manager?

So apparently there is no such thing as a middle ground or compromise

Its not like we were championship pre abra, we were a team able to break into top 4. And Roberto was part of that team. this time the board went too far

We were certainly doing better than Spurs.

Lovely bunch that West Ham lot.
That looks like there might be one lad giving a Nazi gesture. Everybody else just look like their putting both arms up as loads of fans do. I'm not even certain that lad isn't stick two arms up either.

Poor Andy Carroll

First playing with the tag of being the most expensive British player of all time and now has to be the main striker for a bunch of Nazis

Keep your head up big guy :downing

Of all the different London supports, West Ham are the soundest from my experience.

In other news Geoff Shreeves continues to be a cunt.

Shreeves is a complete tool.

I haven't posted in here all week as I've had such a hectic week. Anyway, I caught the United/QPR highlights on MOTD and read some of the comments on here from the United fans. Why do we continue to persist with this zombie football style? It gets us no where, creates zero opportunities for us and then the opposing team ends up scoring first after displaying some really good build-up play. It needs to stop! We're in November and some of the players still look like they're in pre-season mode. We need to start performing better as like the Spurs and Norwich results, it'll eventually cost us points.

Why Anderson isn't getting picked when he's been our best midfield player is beyond me. Scholes hasn't shown top form yet, Carrick has been useless and Giggs can't run anymore. Yet Ferguson continues to pick the old age pensioners. It's baffling really. Time to give Fletcher, Anderson and Cleverley a chance in the centre of midfield as I'm sure we'll perform much better then. At least those three show energy and urgency and try to charge forward unlike the other options.

I was watching Football Focus on Saturday to hear the live results and after we won 3-1, it was funny hearing Garth Crooks analysis on our defence. Instead of looking at our injuries in defence or Evra, who can't seem to defend anymore (although he's looked decent in attack recently) he singled out Rafael by saying his "consistency is inconsistent". What a fucking idiot! I'm one of those who enjoys listening to Garth when he's with Robbie Savage as they both get into hilarious arguments. However, he does say some really incompetent things and this was one of them. Has he seen Rafael play every game this season and the fact he's been one of our CONSISTENT defenders (along with Evans and at times Ferdinand) and the one whose actually looked like he knows how to defend. Ridiculous comment.

Once again, Ferguson named a poor starting XI and got the substitutions right. It needs addressing though because as much as I love and respect Ferguson, he got a lot of things wrong last season with our starting XI and our tactics in the big games and he's doing that again this season. Drop Carrick, Scholes, and Giggs. Bring some youth and energy into the centre of midfield. I really hope Nani recovers soon as despite being poor all season, at least he's looked FAR BETTER than Young, who just looks awful. I'll give him time as he did show some great form at the start and end of last season but he better recover that form soon.

As for the RDM firing, I feel for the guy. He seemed like a genuine and humble bloke and didn't deserve to be treated like that. The Rafa signing is a surreal one but it might only be temporary in the end.
